Barry,

Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm positive this is the one you handed me on my visit to your wonderful abode and that there is one of the most gorgeous bits of timber to behold and those pics just don't do it true justice. Impressive is simply just not enough to how this looks in person.

Masterful work Andrew :D
